Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we're missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePopular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith doesn't come through trust in Jesus's death on the cross alone but through allegiance to Christ the king. There is only one true gospel and one required response: allegiance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBates ignited conversation with his successful and influential book \u003ci\u003eSalvation by Allegiance Alone\u003c\/i\u003e. Here he goes deeper while making his acclaimed teaching on salvation more accessible and experiential for believers who want to better understand and share the gospel. \u003ci\u003eGospel Allegiance\u003c\/i\u003e includes a guide for further conversation, making it ideal for church groups, pastors, leaders, and students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew W.
